After listening to Kong Miaozhi's analysis, Qu Zhishui, the prefect of Yongzhou, was greatly shocked and respectfully saluted Kong Miaozhi. If he was so polite before because of Du Jie, Duke of Wu'an, now Kong Miaozhi Already convinced, he finally said: "I will arrange the matter now, as long as the people of Yongzhou share the same hatred. This matter will come to an end soon. Master Li, please transport all the money to the prefect's Yamen starting tomorrow, unless you don't come again People who exchange money, otherwise you will stay in the Yamen forever."
After Qu Zhishui finished speaking, he said goodbye to Du Jie and Kong Miaozhi and left. As Qu Zhishui left, so did the Yamen.
As soon as the prefect left, Chu Mu came in. As soon as he arrived at the bank with Mu Yanbin, the yamen officials let Mu Yanbin in, but blocked him outside the house. At this time, Chu Mu came, and Du Jie and Kong Miaozhi quickly got up and told him what had just happened.
Chu Mu nodded after hearing this: "So, everything has been resolved?"
Kong Miaozhi shook his head and said, "There are still two things that have not been resolved."
"Two things? Which two things?"
Kong Miaozhi looked at Li Yanlin and Mu Yanbin opposite and said: "Master Li, you haven't said the reason for doing this yet. The prefect was here just now, so it's not convenient to say it, but this reason is very important to you, and it is also very important to us. .”
Li Yanlin remained silent. Mu Yanbin next to him wanted to say something, but Kong Miaozhi didn't let him speak and continued: "The first thing Mr. Li doesn't want to talk about now, let's talk about the second thing. Mr. Mu, who are you?" At that time, you took refuge in the Three Tribulations Sect?"
Mu Yanbin was stunned by what Kong Miaozhi said, and he asked back: "Me? Join the Three Tribulations Sect? Kong Shaoxia, are you kidding me?"
Kong Miaozhi gradually raised his voice: "No? Didn't you put the finger bones in the old lady's temple?"
"What phalanges, Kong Shaoxia, you are talking more and more strangely."
Kong Miaozhi shouted: "Mu Yanbin, it doesn't matter if you don't admit it. Then listen to what I say, right? During this period, except for a few old ladies who guarded the temple day and night, no one else entered it at all. . I have observed for a long time that Mr. Li has never gone to pay his respects to the old lady. I think it’s not that Mr. Li doesn’t want to, but that he can’t. On the contrary, you go to the Buddhist hall on time every morning, noon and evening to pay your respects. I This man and his old woman have not left the Buddhist hall for some days. It is impossible for them to have finger bones out of thin air. It seems that you are the only one there."
"Then... maybe the thieves let it go quietly? The methods of the Three Tribulations Sect are unpredictable. Isn't it easy to place the finger bones of the living dead in the Buddhist hall without anyone noticing?"
"Then why did the Three Tribulations Sect do this?"
"I'm not a member of the Three Tribulations Sect, how could I know."
"That finger bone is not just a finger bone. It should be a kind of medicine, an antidote, right? Right, Mr. Li?" Kong Miaozhi changed the subject of questioning to Li Yanlin.
Li Yanlin's face was livid at this time. He stared at Kong Miaozhi and asked, "How did you know?"
"I don't know, but I think things need some explanation. It is said in Yongzhou City that Mr. Li Er is a filial son, but there must be some reasons for not going to the Buddhist hall to pay respects. I am also making a bold assumption and be careful to verify it."
Mu Yanbin laughed twice and said to Kong Miaozhi: "Kong Shaoxia is really good at joking. How could there be a cult person in our Li family? Kong Shaoxia, you are worrying too much."
Kong Miaozhi glanced at him and said nothing, but Li Yanlin said: "Stop struggling, you have already spilled the beans. Just now Kong Shaoxia only said about the phalanges, you dragged yourself to the living dead, beast, how can you face the old lady?" , facing my adoptive father, facing everyone in the Li family!"
When Mu Yanbin heard Li Yanlin's words, his face instantly turned pale. He turned around and ran out. Suddenly a dart flew from outside the door. The dart was extremely accurate and hit the door frame directly, only three inches away from the tip of Mu Yanbin's nose.
Immediately afterwards, a word came from outside, "This road is blocked!" Then Wu Qi, dressed in white robe, walked in from outside.
Wu Qi actually rushed back from Wuliang Villa at this time!
Chu Mu was overjoyed to see Wu Qi back safely. When Wu Qi saw that they were all there, he laughed happily. He first said hello to Chu Mu, and then said excitedly: "Lao Liu, you are so amazing. Do you know what I found in Wuliang Villa? The Li family really He is a descendant of the Xianbei royal family!"
Wu Qi told what he had discovered as soon as they met, and several people took a breath when they heard the news.
Li Yanlin laughed wildly at this time and said: "Descendants of the royal family? Where are there any descendants of the royal family? There are no more! It's all over!"
Mu Yanbin's eyes widened when he heard the news. He looked at Li Yanlin in disbelief, but after meeting Li Yanlin's cold gaze, he lowered his head. Li Yanlin was not going to let him go at this time. He walked over, grabbed Mu Yanbin's front, and asked fiercely: "Didn't my Li family treat you badly? You were adopted by my father when you were hungry and cold. So. Over the years, the Li family has never treated you badly. My father regards you as my right-hand man, and you have really disappointed my father. Even if you have a dog, after so many years, it should be mature by now!"
Mu Yanbin didn't dare to look into Li Yanlin's eyes. He roared and questioned Mu Yanbin, but in the end Mu Yanbin laughed out loud.
"Second brother, you really know how to joke!"
"What do you mean?"
"Second brother, what you said is all right. But we have been learning from our adoptive father since we were young. We learned silver on the first day. Do you remember what else we learned?"
"What do you want to say?"
"Business, do you understand? What is buying and selling? Buying and selling are called buying and selling. Raise me and teach me that this is buying, let me be your right-hand man and that is selling. Businessmen, there are so many truths to say, I am just I want to sell myself at a good price. Is this wrong? My adoptive father once said, wait for the price and sell on the best. Is it wrong?"
Mu Yanbin's appearance was a little distorted when he said this. The more he spoke, the stronger his momentum became, and the more he spoke, the more confident he became. He knocked Li Yanlin's hand off and continued: "Second brother, if I was born useless and couldn't be your right-hand man, could my adoptive father do this to me? I was not the only one my adoptive father brought back, and I was the only one who stayed. This is Is it because he is kind? It's because I am useful. Over the years, how much money have I made for the Li family, and how many times have I gone to business for my adoptive father. These are the real purposes of your Li family in raising me, and you have made yourself so beautiful. What are you doing? Ah!"
Mu Yanbin said the last thing and looked at Li Yanlin with wide eyes. Li Yanlin never thought that Mu Yanbin could say such a truth. When he looked at Mu Yanbin, he felt that he was completely different from the follower who had been following him in his impression. He has changed and he doesn't know it.
Although Wu Qi didn't know what happened in front of him, when he heard Mu Yanbin's words, he kicked him to the ground and let out a loud sigh.
"Are you still a thing? Do you understand the word friendship, do you understand loyalty, filial piety, and loyalty? Is there nothing else in your mind except business? What nonsense are you talking about!"
Mu Yanbin was placed on the ground without struggling. He kept a sneer on his lips and said nothing.
Li Yanlin looked at Mu Yanbin and said with a sad expression: "What about my mother? The old lady has always treated you as her own. She has never wanted anything from you. When you imprisoned her in the Buddhist hall, how could you I thought about her."
When Mu Yanbin heard Li Yanlin talking about the old lady, his expression darkened. There is no more arrogance as before.
"The old lady doesn't listen to me, and I have no choice. Originally, everyone in the Li family could have a good future, as long as they join the Three Tribulations Sect. Immortality, what's the point of just yellow and white things."
Chu Mu asked at this time: "What did you do to the people in the Li family?"
"It's just a distraction bone shaping pill."
"Distracting Bone Shaping Pills? Have you confused all the people in the Li Mansion?" Chu Mu shouted in surprise after hearing this
Du Jie didn't know what it was, so he asked Kong Miaozhi in a low voice: "What is the distraction bone shaping pill?"
Kong Miaozhi said bitterly: "The poison developed by the cult is a drug that stimulates potential at the expense of consciousness. As the potency increases, the person who eats it will gradually transform into another person. That part of the self-consciousness will also slowly If eliminated, the drug would make people act like puppets, only following the orders of the person who administered the drug."
Li Yanlin was stunned when he heard what Kong Miaozhi said. He murmured for a long time: "She said at the beginning that there was an antidote. Brother Chu, do you know the antidote?"
Chu Mu pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "As far as I know, there is no cure. Unless..."
"Unless what?"
"This kind of medicine uses someone's mind power as a guide. If you kill that person, the effect of the Distracting Bone Shaping Pill will stop. However, its damage to people is irreversible. They just no longer listen to other people's orders. Giving the order is the only way."
After listening, Li Yanlin's mind went blank, so much so that he couldn't listen to what others said at all.
It was Su Ran who gave the poison, and the elixir was guided by her telepathy. She controlled the whole Li family. Why her? It would be great if it wasn't her. It would be great if I wasn't the second son of the Li family. Li Yanlin was in a state of confusion. He couldn't choose between Su Ran and the Li family. He didn't understand why God gave him such an impossible choice. Li Yanlin looked ahead with empty eyes, but his thoughts gradually recalled the first time he saw Su Ran.
At that time, I glanced at the crowd and just glanced at her. In my eyes, the world was far away, only her appearance, her smile, her every move, her bright smile, and her bright eyes. tooth. How could there be such a strange woman in this world? After just one glance, I couldn't help but fall in love with her hopelessly.
Chu Mu still wanted to persuade him, but Kong Miaozhi pulled him: "Elder brother, I'm afraid that Second Young Master Li knows who poisoned her, but he is reluctant to kill her. This may be the real reason why Second Young Master Li did such a crazy thing today. .”
